    If the woman doesn’t choose any, who does she end up with? What should she do about it? You clearly see the absurdity when presented as an analogy, but you cannot see the similarity because the violence of the politicians is many levels removed from you.

      And the point is she doesn’t have to have anybody. We do. We have 2 people and 1 of them will be here whether we like it or not. We can’t opt out.

        Again, assume she has the same lack of choice. What should she do? Why does that differ from what we should do?

      I live in the gulf coast. The violence is not removed from me. It’s arguably worse here than anywhere else in the US, they test those insane policies here. You know nothing about me or my family.

      Interesting you dropped off that SCOTUS discussion. You seemed pretty smug and sure there too.

          I didn’t dodge questions. Some of us critiqued your shit analogy and you got butthurt. That’s what happened here.

          Have a good one mate. Last word is all yours - I’m sure it’s very important to you.

          Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable. I’m still struggling through plenty of it, with no clear answers. I acknowledge it, and also acknowledge at this late age, my imaginative abilities have atrophied, significantly. :-/
